Thailand tourist attractions: Outset Impressions Of Anchorage

Our showtime weekend inwards Anchorage was a whirlwind of settling inwards to a hotel, finding a house, as well as exploring. My showtime thought was that it was a lot similar the Pacific Northwest, lots of drizzly rain, lots of coffee, as well as lots of uses for.... salmon! Unfortunately, nosotros exactly missed angling season, as well as so that volition accept to hold back until side past times side summer.

There were likewise many wild fauna photograph opportunities.



I thought the sidewalk chalk inwards the modest metropolis foursquare was a swell idea!

We wandered a modest farmers marketplace inwards the downtown expanse as well as the girls met their showtime Alaskan Husky, sled squad dog. Beautiful dogs!

Anchorage sits correct on the Cook Inlet, business office of the Pacific Ocean.

And, hither it is inwards person.

I was quite impressed amongst the amount of flowers inwards the downtown area, fifty-fifty inwards September. Everything was build clean as well as good cared for. The metropolis itself definitely has a modest town feel, though Alaskans refer to this every bit the 'big city'. It's all relative, I suppose.

Just to position into perspective our country's largest state, Alaska is one-fifth the size of the lower 48, as well as is bigger than Texas, California, as well as Montana combined! 

Though enormous, Alaska has roughly the same population of the District of Columbia! We definitely accept room to spread out upward here.

Our novel domicile base, Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson (JBER) is a huge base. It is well-nigh iv times larger than our previous base, Yokota, as well as looks exactly similar a national park. Here are our mount views, which remind me of my Utah home.

The Eagleglen Fitness Park, on base, is a swell recreational area,

consummate amongst lots of paved trails through the expanse to walk or bike.



Also, correct exterior the gate is the Hernandez Sport Fish Hatchery. We learned all well-nigh salmon as well as are excited for the summertime angling season. Salmon volition live on swimming up this waterfall inwards no time!

As for wildlife, we've seen deportment as well as lots of moose correct on base. I've likewise heard of lynx as well as wolves calling JBER home, every bit well. Yikes! This sign is a regular site exactly about Anchorage.

Also, this site. We saw this momma moose as well as her babies correct exterior the commissary.

The girls bask walking to this river, well-nigh 10 minutes walk from our house.

And, I accept lots of beautiful trails for my morning time walk.

But unexpected encounters amongst bears are always at the dorsum of my mind!

I was fifty-fifty surprised amongst a fantastic Northern Lights display ane mutual coldness morning, which was only magical!

The base of operations has many lakes every bit well, for both angling as well as boating. As yous tin see, JBER is variety of an outdoor persons dream. Too bad I'm such a metropolis girl, but mayhap I'll live on forced to alter my ways....


Luckily, nosotros were offered a base of operations solid correct away as well as were able to acquire settled quickly. All of our family asset had been on a tedious boat from Nippon for well-nigh 2 months. It was a swell reunion!

Even inwards mid-September, the sunset was late, in all probability exactly about 10:00 pm. Come July, in that location volition live on well-nigh 22 hours of daylight each day. Don't know how I experience well-nigh that!

I'll cap off this weblog amongst our see to the province fair, as well as hanging out amongst the lumberjacks.

And who doesn't dearest a collie-riding monkey?! Cowboy up!

So far, as well as so good. Though, I suppose hence far, Alaska is a petty to a greater extent than rugged than I to a greater extent than oftentimes than non prefer. This should live on interesting....
